alphabetizable

Able to sequence

Alphabetizable describes something that can be arranged in alphabetical order.

The term applies to lists, entries, or items that have a clear first letter or word to sort by: The index entries are alphabetizable by author's last name.

Some things resist alphabetization—numbers, symbols, or items without obvious lead words.
